Statewide California Bullet Train Project in The Works
Posted by Tony Brizuela | Posted in Tech News | Posted on 07-11-2008
California voters have passed a proposition giving the state billions to begin building a high-speed rail between Northern and Southern California. The Safe, Reliable High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act, or Proposition 1A, opens up a possibility that Californians may see a bullet train traversing between the two regions as early as 2020 among an 800-mile stretch.
Cities planned among the route include Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and central cities such as Fresno and Bakersfield. The trains would use the same technology as found in Europe and Asia, reaching speeds of more than 200 mph.
